Highland Park sits along Lake Michigan's western shore, and the homes here reflect it. Many of the older properties near the ravines off Park Avenue and along Sheridan Road date back to the early 1900s. That means character, but it also means aging infrastructure. Plaster walls, outdated plumbing, tight basement clearances — these are common in the older housing stock here, and they take a contractor who's seen them before. Freeze-thaw cycles hit hard this far north, and water intrusion in basements and around window framing is something we address in nearly every job we take on near the lake.
Highland Park's 30,794 residents have a median household income of $168,094 (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons). Homeowners here invest seriously in their properties, and they expect contractors who treat the work the same way. The median age of 45 tells you this is a community with established families who aren't moving anytime soon. They want remodels done right the first time, not patched together. That's the kind of work B&C Remodeling builds its reputation on.
